Where is the US Fourth Infantry Division based?
The 4th Infantry Division is a division of the United States Army based at Fort Carson, Colorado. It is composed of a Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, three brigade combat teams (1st Stryker BCT, 2nd Infantry BCT, and 3rd Armored BCT), a Combat Aviation Brigade, the 4th Infantry Division Sustainment Brigade, and a Division Artillery.
The 4th Infantry Division's official nickname, "Ivy", is a play on words of the Roman numeral IV or 4. Ivy leaves symbolize tenacity and fidelity which is the basis of the division's motto: "Steadfast and Loyal." The second nickname, "Iron Horse," has been adopted to underscore the speed and power of the division and its soldiers.

Interesting question but why in the world would anyone outside of the military know this?

Carolyn Brior, I knew, but I was stationed there. You're right though. Most people wouldn't know this.

I was with 1/29 FA there from February 1984 until I ETSed at the end of June 1985.

US Fourth Infantry Division is not a real unit. For example, the 4th Marine Division is headquartered at Camp Pendleton. I should have indicated US Army.
